Nitrogen di oxide (N2O): Cut-off during agriculture, land use, industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as treatment of wastewater.

Methane (CH4): Although methane, released during the production and transportation of coal, natural gas and oil, remains in the atmosphere for a much shorter time than carbon dioxide, it is much stronger in terms of greenhouse effect. When compared under equal conditions, its effect on global warming is 25 times greater than the effect of carbon dioxide in a 100-year period. It accounts for approximately 16 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions globally.

Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide accounts for approximately 76 percent of global human-induced emissions; It is released into the atmosphere as a result of the burning of fossil fuels, solid waste, trees and other biological materials, as well as certain chemical reactions.

CONSEQUENCES OF GLOBAL WARMING

Climate change affects all regions around the world. Polar ice shields are melting and the sea is rising. In some regions, extreme weather events and rainfall are becoming more common while others are experiencing more extreme heat waves and droughts. We need climate action now, or these impacts will only intensify.

What are the consequences of climate change for the natural world?

High temperatures 

Drought and wildfires

Availability of fresh air 

Floods

Sea - level rise and coastal ares
